What's new

Chelsea v Man Utd (PL) Sat 22nd Oct 2022 17:30 GMT

Sky Sports "Jones knows" has labeled us and Graham Potter "overrated". He also labeled Kepas form as a "purple patch" and expects for him to return to his previous form soon.

He also said @Zetawas correct and following the rules when handling the prediction league results vs Brentford and that @Munkworthhas been treated completely fairly.

I will be worried if we don’t win this one. The last two performances haven’t been great so we could do with a convincing win

I really hope we win this, as I have a deja-vu feeling about this season. It feels just like 2021.

Catch a good run of form, play the best game of the season against an Italian team at the Bridge, one defender gets injured, then Reece gets injured and then it all goes downhill.

Win today and everything changes. 

 
This is the hardest game we have had so far this season, Man United did beat Arsenal and Liverpool but lost to Man City so there's that.

 
They will be confident and up for it given their good form. We’re going to have to be up for it. 
 

Unfortunately I think United might get something from this. 

 
We have only won 1 game against man Utd in the last 10 premier  league meetings. The last 4 PL meetings ended in low scoring draws. Don't expect much today.

We should win despite having been played off the park for 90 minutes to make up for the last few games against them.

None of those games are relevant to today's game.

They beat spuds as well whilst we were drawing with Brentford just after being gifted a win against relegation fodder. Oh god

Its not just this game we also have Arse and Newcastle coming up. Given all these defensive injuries going to be hard work up to the world cup. At first I thought the cup would leave us worse off because such a long season but now I more and more think it can be a reset opportunity

 
Always a tough fixture for Chelsea - Utd seem to raise their game against us, and well, are coming off a strong midweek performance

(3-4-3)

                   Kepa
    Chalobah SIlva Koulibaly
Dave                          Chilwell
           Jorginho RLC
        Mount Auba Sterling

 
Man U seem to be our bogey team as of late. It’s hard to call this one.

Kepa 

chalobah silva koulibay

Chelsea provisional squad:

Arrizabalaga, Mendy, Silva, Chalobah, Koulibaly, Azpilicueta, Cucurella, Chilwell, Jorginho, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Zakaria, Chukwuemeka, Gallagher, Sterling, Havertz, Mount, Aubameyang, Broja, Pulisic, Ziyech.

Potters starting XI:

                                     Arrizabalaga

                    Chalobah        Silva       Koulibaly

Loftus-Cheek      Jorginho      Kovacic         Pulisic

                           Mount         Sterling

                                Aubameyang

My preferred starting XI:

                                     Arrizabalaga

      Azpilicueta       Chalobah      Silva       Cucurella

                            Jorginho      Kovacic

             Gallagher         Mount         Pulisic

                                     Broja

 
I don’t understand why Potter doesn’t try Chilwell or Cucurella at right WB. I know it’s the opposite side but it’s more natural than RLC or Sterling.

Looks like Gallagher is of questionable fitness right now.  He might make the squad but I can't see Potter starting him.

I am hoping we go with a 4-2-3-1 though.
